The country’s anti-money laundering agency requested information on the domestic bank accounts of UK City Minister Tulip Siddiq, who’s also the niece of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, a potential precursor to a broader financial investigation.
The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit’s (BFIU) inquiry extends to Siddiq’s immediate family members, including her mother Sheikh Rehana, as well as Hasina, according to a notice issued by the BFIU and seen by Bloomberg News. An official familiar with the development, who did not wish to be named discussing a sensitive matter, confirmed the contents of the notice.
